FedBCD:Communication-Efficient Accelerated Block Coordinate Gradient Descent for Federated Learning
Although Federated Learning has been widely studied in recent years, there are still high overhead expenses in each communication round for large-scale models such as Vision Transformer. To lower the communication complexity, we propose a novel Federated Block Coordinate Gradient Descent (FedBCGD) method for communication efficiency. The proposed method splits model parameters into several blocks, including a shared block and enables uploading a specific parameter block by each client, which can significantly reduce communication overhead. Moreover, we also […]
